Basically a touch-starved Cioccolata (jjba)
Treat others how you want to be treated. Cioccolata certainly didn't live by that ideal, however, there was someone in his life that he truly did treat how he, himself, would have liked to be treated...for the most part at least...It was his lovely pet, Secco. Cioccolata, spending most of his time "working on" his patients, rarely ever had the chance to get close to anyone. Secco was really the only person he’d had any sort of relationship that wasn’t family, who he hadn’t seen much of in ages. Other than a few friendly chats with patients and other doctors here and there, It really was just him and Secco. This was the reason that something in the back of his mind had been driving him crazy. He couldn’t push the feelings away and they grew and grew until they began to get unbearable.
It was simple, really. Frustratingly simple. All he needed was some affection, but Secco, despite being extraordinarily “doggish,” wasn’t delivering! In his desperation, Ciocolatta took it upon himself to cling to Secco whenever possible, but he never hugged back! Every time he found his arms around Secco, he was so close to gratification that it was tantalizing. It was clear that secco enjoyed the affection given to him and really cared about their strong relationship, so it wasn’t like he felt unloved. It was just a certain lack of intimacy that served as an unscratched itch in his heart. There were a few times that Secco had hugged him, yes, but those were times when Secco was in need of comfort or consolation, and demanded far more affection than he gave. The nature of the issue wasn’t sexual like some woukld assume, as he tended to get that kind of release often during his patients operations, sometimes along with Secco, who’d always get all the good details on video for Ciocolatta to get off to later. It was really that Ciocolatta desired something tender.
He was jealous of how Secco always got to be caressed, scratched, and rubbed. He wished for them to switch places sometimes. He could just imagine the relieving sensations he’d feel as Seccos hands ran along his arms and chest. He wanted to feel the tips of his pets fingers massaging the thin layers of tissue under his lower jaw and behind his ears. Ciocolatta could swear that if Secco were to scratch his scalp in just the...
